“Our series this quarter is ‘Ellevating Your Brand’,” said Ellevate Charleston Co-President Cady Nell West. “I am looking forward to hearing the challenges and opportunities Debbie Antonelli faced while building her personal brand to becoming the first and most notable female for calling men’s basketball games. We are blessed to have Debbie in our backyard.”
